Case trimmer cutter.

phaedra1106 that is a good idea! I can temper that down and machine it to exactly what I want.
And it's available readily within the UK.
Thanks

David,

Need a lot of couage to make such tool when it is just to find the right source.

The problem I always found with OEM case trimmer cutters was the poor steel quality and poor sharpeness.

I used countersink borers of HSS-Co with removeable pilots. The smaller one in the range I used had a 4mm pilot hole, which allowed all calibre pilots..The pilot was the only part I fouund necessary to make to calibre. Those tools cut beautifully with the minimum of burrs, even on soft annealed brass..

If you need specific gunsmithig cutters, visit Triebel Guntools. Not in the cheap range, but top quality and no other source in Europe.

BTW; have you dowloaded their chambers dimensiosn?

I like the idea of countersink borers with removable pilots, I will take a look. I find myself using the Triebel more and more as a useful source if information however I am yet to buy from them. The chamber dimensions are in daily use and I even find myself looking at them in the evenings. I keep meaning to check Triebel Guntools for Die blanks...

If you are looking for cutters similar to the Forster one (Or the Forster ones!) try Trent Firearms on 01782 302 937 - Steve stocks stuff from Midway UK - he has a huge selection of reloading items in stock, if he does not have something he will usually be able to get it in very quickly - nice guy too!

Very good Pe4king, building things like this with what you find in the van/shed/garage is always very satisfying

I dont think ill ever get to your standard of shed tinkering though, however I have got a powder trickler made from items retrieved from a skip at work that works ok I shall have to youtubify it.

I have a Wilson case length trimmer and I find it hard to imagine it being beaten for consistent accuracy..
